While changing oil on it last Saturday, I happened to notice that a pair of bent-nose long handle pliers that I must have laid upon the air cleaner when checking the OVP several days earlier had slid forward and become somewhat wedged in a position such that the bent-nose portion was stuck near the distributor/ignition parts at front of the valve cover! Top of pliers had a blue-ish, burned look as if it had shorted on electrical part. On up the handle, there is evidence that the serpentine belt had been rubbing as well.

Whew! Sure dodged a MUCH BIGGER problem had they fallen on down and tangled with the fan our somehow got between the belt and one of the pullys.


Does it really matter HOW I sent this message?
